âCrown Prince!â Manager Hai looked at Shang Wu Xin with tears upon seeing her entered the house, and then said sharply, âAiya, how did the Crown Prince become so thin! This old slave said that he would go together with the Crown Prince but Crown Prince disagree, look, Crown Prince has slimmed down into this!â
Shang Wu Xin looked at Manager Hai, who was about to reach out his hand to check on her. She wanted to get angry but faced with an elder who had her in his heart, she could only gave Wu Wei who was stationed beside her a look.
Wu Wei immediately pulled Manager Hai away and said, âCrown Prince is tired from the journey, itâs better to let him rest first, moreover Crown Prince still need to go to the Palace for the dinner banquet. Manager Hai better prepare food for the Crown Prince to eat first, if not he will be hungry at the banquet!â
Hearing that, Manager Hai quickly rushed to the kitchen, his speed was not slowed down by his fat body at all. Shang Wu Xin looked at Manager Haiâs back, her heart was filled with warmth. Only this Manager Hai had always put herself in his heart. Whether she was a weak person before or a cruel person now, this Manager Hai had never had the slightest hint of betrayal in his heart. To say that heâs loyal was true, say that heâs stupid was true too, Shang Wu Xin was pleased to have such an elder like this beside her.
âHowâs their progress recently?â Shang Wu Xin asked as she walked.
âEverything is fine, the guards inside are half-way through in their training. When the Crown Prince was absent, there were several forces who wanted to break into the residence but was stopped. Those mountain banditâs training will not take much longer to finish for the Crown Prince to utilize!â Wu Wei replied from behind the Crown Prince.
âAre there injuries?â Shang Wu Xinâs face turned slightly cold. Now that these people will be working under her as her subordinate. Shang Wu Xin had this, donât know if itâs a good or bad habit, that was protective, sheâs extremely protective to those she considered her own.
Wu Weiâs heart immediately warmed up, and she quickly replied, âNone, the people that theyâve sent were average at best, really has nothing to see!â
Shang Wu Xin walked into her bedroom, while Wu Wei stood guard outside her room. In fact, she was very curious, since she first followed the Crown Prince, she had never seen anyone waiting close (1) to the Crown Prince. Every time she combed Crown Princeâs hair in the morning, he had already finished dressing himself. However, after thinking for a long time, Wu Wei just thought that this was just Crown Princeâs habit and that he didnât like to have other people near him.
When Shang Wu Xin entered her room, she saw a red clothed man lying on her soft couch. Han Xuan Hao leaned back on the soft couch, his ink colored long hair was tied up to a side on his chest before falling down like a willow, not too much, not too less, just enough to add some intoxicating feeling.
As soon as she entered the room and looked at the intoxicating view, Shang Wu Xin who was feeling irritated before calmed down. She looked at Han Xuan Hao lying there and asked, âXuan Hao, why have you come to my place this time?â
The trip to Feng Zhou City was so smooth, didnât know how much Han Xue Hao helped from behind. Shang Wu Xin did not even need to investigate to know. Even though this man was evil, but he had no malicious intent towards herself. Shang Wu Xin was someone who will not hate others for no reason.
âNo matter how you say it, both of us can be considered as friends, this friend has come to see Wu Xin, why not?â Han Xuan Hao said while he even threw a wink to Shang Wu Xin, he thought, since he canât bear to let him go then just be close, since he like him then he wonât let him go, itâs not important whether if theyâre of the same sex or with different identities, the key is Shang Wu Xinâs heart.
âEn, but youâre ignorantly coming to my house, isnât this like a thief?â Shang Wu Xin rarely made a joke, and she did not smile at all. Although Han Xuan Hao was a bit uncomfortable with the situation, but Han Xuan Hao still had a sense of propriety. Although he had entered her room, he never entered her inner chamber where she sleep, so she did not get angry when she saw Han Xuan Hao.
Han Xuan Hao turned his body, Shang Wu Xin found that what Han Xuan Haoâs wore today seemed to be somewhat seductive. With Han Xuan Haoâs action, the red clothes loosened slightly to reveal Han Xuan Haoâs white jade like collarbone, which was really a crime.
âThief?â This one word was spoken a few times out from Han Xuan Haoâs mouth, then he laughed out loud and said âI really came to be a thief!â
Because Iâve come to steal your person, and steal your heart. Han Xuan Hao silently said in his heart.
âGo back!â Shang Wu Xin saw her clothes had loosened and rushed out the words. She still needs to wash. If Han Xuan Hao was still here, sheâs afraid that she would still wear this same clothes to attend the palaceâs banquet.
Han Xuan Hao also knew that everything could not be rushed, he nodded and said, âIf I have time I will come to see you, if you have any problem you can find me in Star Tower (2). That is the intelligence network of Hanxing Pavilion!â
âStar Tower?â Shang Wu Xin was surprised. Star Tower was a famous brothel in the mainland, but her investigations never found out that it was one of Han Xuan Haoâs power. The Star Tower was not just a brothel, there were many people who liked to talk about things there too. Over time, the reputation of the Star Tower increased greatly and rumors about the prostitutes in the star tower were indeed really beautiful were true.
âWhy is the name so strange?â Shang Wu Xin was puzzled. As far as she knew, usually the name of the brothel were usually very artistic, but this brothel was called with such a fresh name which really contradict with the brothel itself.
Han Xuan Haoâs body was a little stiff. No one has ever asked him this question. This was the first person to ask where did Star Pavilion name came from. He had dismissed others or even give an explanation about it, but now he wanted to tell everything to the young man in front of him, he wanted to share all his weal and woe. (3)
With an indifferent smile, Han Xuan Hao sat up and looked at the young man in front of him and said, âWhenever I escaped from death, I was alone. When I looked up, I can only see the stars in the sky and that was the most beautiful scenery that Iâve ever seen!â And now, I have finally found the most beautiful scenery that belongs to me.
Towards Han Xuan Haoâs painful past, even though it was sad, Shang Wu Xin still had not the slightest fluctuations in her emotion, she did not even sympathized. When Han Xuan Hao saw the impenetrable young man whose heart was not moved at all, his heart was somewhat frustrated. It seemed that the Crown Princeâs heart was colder than he had imagined.
âWhy does the Crown Prince not sympathized me?â Han Xuan Hao grievingly said. Originally, he had planned if the Crown Prince had sympathized with him, he would be able to take comfort in the Crown Princeâs embrace? Although he never needed sympathy, but he still needed Crown Princeâs embrace ah!
âYou donât need it!â Shang Wu Xin did not even looked at Han Xuan Hao who had been wronged. She lifted her foot and went into the inner chamber. âAnd, I donât have such a carefree heart!â
Looking at the Crown Prince who had walked into the inner chamber, Han Xuan Hao also stood up, Although he really wanted to go inside too, but he knew that if he really went inside, afraid that he wonât have any chance to enter the Crown Princeâs house in the future. He pulled on his clothes and tidied it up properly, Han Xuan Hao looked towards the inner chamber with dissatisfaction. It seemed that todayâs beautiful man scheme was unsuccessful ah, forget it, need to keep up the good work in the future, I donât believe that I canât bend the Crown Prince!
Han Xuan Hao left the Crown Princeâs house with smile while laughing evilly. At this moment, Shang Wu Xinâs back who was in the inner chamber suddenly felt cold.

T/N Note:âWaitingâ here means: you see in those Palace dramas, the nobles almost always had an entourage of maids or eunuch following and waiting beside them or stand in/outside the room?
